But in this connection it should be borne in mind that by the disbandment of the Chinese Regiment, which was the reason for strengthening the police force and the crea tion of that post, a large saving of Imperial funds was effected. There were no signs of any general increase of trade during the year, and, as has been pointed out in previons annual reports, so long as present circumstances exist, commercial development of this territory is not possible.

There seems to be no doubt that-Wei-hai-wei-could be made a profitable centre for grawing fruit, but there is no sign of either Europeans or Chinese being willing to come forward to invest capital here in fruit, or, indeed, in any other enterprise. Although the general trade of Wei-hai-wei does not im prove, the natives of the territory show signs of a gradually increasing prosperity, which is to a great extent due to the series of good harvests which they bave enjoyed ever since the British flag was hoisted here. The value of agricultural land, has risen greatly during the past few years, which has led to an eagerness to redeem mortgaged-| lands. Apart from the good harvests the com- parative · prosperity of the present time_is also. partly due to the visits "of the. British feet, which, however, have been neither so long nor so frequent in recent times as they were formerly. But the prosperity of the people is due still more to the small but steady stream of money that flows into this territory from. Mas. churia.

as compared with 53 last year. In all sub- jects requiring the exercise of memory, such as elementary history and gengraphy, very good progress has been made. In other subjects such as arithmetic, requizing the exercise of the reasoning faculties, progress has not been so satisfactory. This is perhaps to be explained by the fact that for centuries past in Chinese schools the memory alone bas been highly trained while the reasoning facul ties have been left largely undeveloped.

As regards justice, the great majority of casas tried-wers-civil-suits, chiefly concerned with the ownership of land, breach of contract, adoption, and inheritance, ancestral worship, administration of clau property, and all the mul tifarious matters that arise from the intricatè and complicated system of Chinese relationships,

The cheapness, of litigation in Wei-hai-wei Build and Design

is to the Chinese certainly not one of its least attractive features. No court fees are charged and no solicitors or barristers practise in the territory. There can be no other place under British administration, where litigation costs less than at Wei-hai-wei, so that the people have discovered that when even a trivial' qua ral arises it is much simpler and cheaper lo have the case decided by the court than to adopt-the-asual-Chinese-method-of-peace- makers," a process that necessitates the pre- paration of a more or less costly banquet.
